Seniors Moving Smarter Services

Organizing, Downsizing & Space Planning

When we own things, they end up owning us. Downsizing your clutter increases your happiness, and rearranging a space can reshape your outlook. Let Seniors Moving Smarter help you choose the items you truly love, and figure out the perfect spot for them in your new place. For everything else, we will make arrangements such as shipping to a loved one, entering in an auction or donating to a charity. Not sure where to start? We have relocated thousands of people and can offer thoughtful, professional advice.

Prepping for the Real Estate Market

Let us put a little work into your home, so you can get a lot more out of it. Listing your home on the competitive real estate market is all about appearances. Seniors Moving Smarter can help give your home a better first impression. We will clean, declutter and prep your home so that it is ready for the real estate market while making sure you are comfortable throughout the process. And after a complete home market consultation, we will recommend ways to sell your home faster and at the best price. Look smarter. Sell for more. Close faster.

Professional Packing & Moving

Wrapping. Packing. Labeling. These are the things that can turn a move into a herculean task. Seniors Moving Smarter makes it simple. You choose the things you’re going to move, and we’ll box it up. We’ve done this so many times that we have an efficient process that is as fast as it is safe. Depending of the size of your move, we may even throw in packing materials for free.

On moving day, the rubber hits the road. Once we find the right mover for your needs, we will manage and supervise them on moving day. This is where our proven processes are put to the test. Making sure the truck is loaded in a sequence that makes the unpacking process efficient is just one more trick that we have up our sleeves! Boxes are unpacked and organized into your new space and your new floor plan is brought to life. We stay on task and on time, and keep you up to date along the way. Your wishes are respected and you don’t even have to be there.

Unpacking, Settling-In and Hanging Artwork

Ahh, the finishing touches. They are what makes a home feel like a home. But while it can take a single day to move, it often takes months to unpack. Imagine coming home at the end of day one to find that the boxes and packing peanuts have been replaced by organized cabinets, walls full of pictures, and a TV that’s ready to be turned to your favorite show. You can sleep in your own bed knowing that the move is behind you, and it didn’t stress you out a bit.

Hanging pictures and artwork is not an easy task, especially if you want everything to look just right. We not only know how to professionally hang art, we have experience creating arrangements that allow you to feature more art on less wall space. Let us make your pictures, art, and collectibles look fabulous!
